You must configure storage units and policies for your shared drives. If you used
the Device Configuration Wizard to configure the shared drives, you may have
configured storage units and policies already.
For more information, see the following:
NetBackup Administrator s Guide for UNIX and Linux, Volume I
NetBackup Administrator s Guide for Windows, Volume I.
Configure storage units and backup policies as follows:
Configuring storage units for
each media server
In each storage unit definition, logically define the robot
and the shared drives for that media server. For the
Maximum concurrent drives used for backup, specify the
total number of all shared drives in the robot. When you
configure storage units, select a single media server.
Alternatively, you can allow NetBackup to select the media
server to use at the time of the backup. For example, you
can configure a single storage unit that any media server
that shares the storage unit can use.
